Closed Captioned; Standard Screen; Soundtrack English; Soundtrack Spanish; English Subtitles; Behind The Scenes Set in a single suburban house, this made-for-cable trilogy examines the evolution of a woman's right to choose in 1952, 1974, and 1996. Beginning with the days of illegal back-alley abortions, the film moves on to the mid-1970s struggle between conscience and career and ends with the hot-button controversy of violence against women's clinics and abortion providers in the 1990s. Directed by Nancy Savoca and Cher, the film offers highly charged performances from Demi Moore, Sissy Spacek, Cher, and Ann Heche while examining a controversial and compelling issue. Set in a single suburban house, this HBO production spans 40 years, comprising three stories that examine the evolution of a woman's right to choose an abortion. The 1952 segment focuses on a war widow (Demi Moore) who finds herself pregnant after a brief encounter and desperately seeks an illegal abortion. Twenty years later, the house belongs to a married mother of four (Sissy Spacek) who is struggling with the discovery that she is pregnant again. Forced to choose between finishing her college education and starting the career that she put on hold for years or having another child, she also finds herself at odds with her hippie daughter. Set in 1996, the third segment focuses on an unwed college student (Ann Heche) living in the house who becomes pregnant by her married professor. The antichoice protesters surrounding the facility tragically impact her trip to a women's clinic served by a devoted doctor (Cher). Directed by Nancy Savoca (DOGFIGHT, TRUE LOVE) and Cher, this film is a poignant examination of the evolution of the abortion debate, beginning with the tragedy of illegal back-alley abortions and ending with the violence so prevalent at women's clinics today. Premiere on HBO: October 13, 1996.
Shown at the 1996 Toronto Film Festival.
The film is based on materials by Stuart Kaplan.
